Poetic Injustice

A very high-end salon in Tel Aviv has a decorative poetic quote displayed on its front window. This is a really really really nice salon, that I would never step foot into. I have no hair now and my eyebrows don’t need trimming. Even when I did have hair, I preferred to just go to some barber garage and let him do his magic.

The quote attached to the window is decorated with a nice trim — they make it look all fancy. Who would you think they quoted? Robert Frost, William Shakespeare…maybe a quote from a past US president or an important Zionist figure like Abba Eben or Ben Gurion? Maybe it would be a quote from a famous Israeli poet like Yehuda Amichai?

This is what the quote says …

…You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better,

You can do anything you set your mind to…

Yeah, you guessed it … Eminem. They quote Eminem! What’s worse? They even signed the bottom of it with his name … Eminem!
